heres my thoughts, Im a female player and i have been playing dust for a very long time now. I can probably count on one hand.. (actually probably not) where i gender based abuse or made to feel uncomfortable by other dust players. There are also a lot of female players in BetaMax. (i have been collecting them)
Now, i can understand both sides of the argument. Boys, Im sure you know, as well as i do, that there are a minority of male players in this game that will get very creepy and even obsessive upon finding a girl that plays games, especially if they can do it quite well.
For example, I consider many of the people i play with in dust good friends, some of us have been playing for a long time together and have been though some rough stuff. As of yet, I have not met a single one of these people in real life, though that will be changing at fanfest.
My personal philosophy is that you dont really know someone untill you have spent the night getting totally drunk together and having a great time, which is why when someone started adding me on Facebook, then giving my facebook link to other players behind my back i actually got quite pissed off and creeped out. This creeper is in another corp now so i dont have to deal with his pathetic ass but you get my point.
Female players, especially in FPSs are a massive massive minority and sometimes we like to play together not only because its nice to play with someone in that minority, but also because by playing with a full female squad, that sense of feminine pride that we all just totaly kicked scrawny neckbeard ass with an all female team :P Thats one of the reasons i have tried to get as many female dust players as i could into my corp, and they are ALL amazing players.
On the other hand i usually run with my corp and alliance mates which is usually all men, and i like to think that anyone in the alliance that would probably be a proper problem is unlikely to stay for long in their corp anyway.
So yes! i probably will join this channel, but i am worried about how you are checking that these people are who they say they are. |

There has been a couple of incidents of sexism that i was a target of, usually nothing bad. However, the worst i ever got was from Gage, currently of knights of the roundz.
He made numerous references to "how something that bleeds and doesn't die", mosquitos and much more.
Hes a bit of an ass. |

lol talking about me and my detective skills, although I never gave your Facebook out, infact I pmd you saying to remove your real name from irc because you were easily traceable. Which was the topic of discussion (how easy it was to find people for eve spies). I added you because at the time we were friends having played a lot together, chat a lot in irc, c3 even deciding to start betamax. You even asked me to come back when I left for imperfects. Seriously get over yourself. in regards to chat room: segregation won't resolve your problem. Join an active corp, get to know the members and become friends. You can't compromise if you are adding fuel to the fire (don't believe me? Look at this threads responses). I'd also like to note gamers are gamers, any abuse you get is because of that, note because you are female. They will use anything against you and because it's common knowledge sexism is a weakness, it's easy pickings. When jenza was being tested in IRC she took it for face value and even gave some back. She didn't earn her respect by segregation or thinking she needs to be treated like a child with us constantly tiptoeing around her. Captain Awesome aka Steven Azari
Lol, i'll ignore the first part as the chat logs speaks for themselves and anyone with a rational mind knows that adding someone you know only through the internet is creepy. funny that you should be able to recognise yourself as the creeper who passed out my facebook. there has, after all, be n other dust people that added me and i ignored every one of them. I am in an active corp if you hadnt noticed, and all the women in WGoE are in different corps and alliances, sometimes conflicting ones but its still nice to have such a thing there, Its not "segregation" think of it more as players of many different corps and alliance who have a similarity just chatting in a private room. The channel has been going on for years. ever wonder why?
I would encourage any female players thinking of joining this channel or WGoE to do so, its a nice temporary get away. |
